For decades, Hungarian foreign policy has swung between two seemingly incompatible poles: passive conformity to Western — especially EU — expectations, typically associated with the left of the Hungarian political spectrum, and an assertive emphasis on national sovereignty, often in opposition to the same alliances, more characteristic of the right. But must these two directions be mutually exclusive? An essay by Csaba Barnabas Horvath.| Válasz Online
When I was a child, Rumi wasn’t a philosopher or a poet for me. He was candy. Every once in a while, a relative from Konya would visit and bring Mevlana şekeri. The rock sugar associated with Rumi. Sweet, shiny, and simple. How couldn’t I like him? For me, Rumi meant sugar, not wisdom. As I grew older, I started noticing Rumi’s words in books, in conversations,…| Yusuf Aytas
I love Turkish tea. If I go too long without it, especially while traveling, I start to miss it badly. It’s an addiction I have no intention of fixing. When I talk to non-Turkish friends or colleagues about tea, they usually assume it’s the same as any other black tea. To some extent it is, but not really. Turkish tea isn’t just dropping a few leaves in…| Yusuf Aytas
Bringing on a new leader to your organization is always tricky. It starts with hiring. Then comes the real part. Onboarding! I always think bringing in a new leader without context is like starting construction without a blueprint. You’ll get noise and activity, but not stability. Perhaps, a few things are done, but in the wrong order. Walls before foundations. Progress on paper, but instability underneath. But…| Yusuf Aytas

Returning Arrow tables over HTTP is relatively straightforward. The Arrow IPC streaming format is repurposed to the HTTP use case and you can return each serialized IPC batch as a chunk of the HTTP response — Transfer-Encoding: chunked — to enable streaming clients. Arrow IPC streams have a MIME type registered with IANA so you can also set the appropriate Content-Type header on your HTTP responses. 1 Content-Type: application/vnd.apache.arrow.stream You can find Python examples of this i...| Runtime Checks
In multiplication, to get a non-zero product, all factors must be greater than 0.

id Software co-founder John Romero tells the early story of the game company in this GDC 2016 talk and lists the programming principles that guided them towards the rapid development of many games including Doom and Quake with a very small team. Some of these principles resembles today’s common Agile practices while others do not. I like them and id definitely had good results, so the principles should at least be considered and adapted to different contexts. No prototypes. Just make the ga...| Runtime Checks
C++ 17 has introduced the std::optional<T>template class that is analogous to the Maybe/Optional monad implementation in many other languages. “Analogous” is doing a lot of work in this statement because the C++ type checker is not going to help you avoid dereferencing an empty optional like Rust, Haskell, Scala, Kotlin, TypeScript and many other languages will do. That does not make it useless. As with many things in C++, we will be careful™ when using it and write only programs that d...| Runtime Checks
Joins are an important class of operations in databases and data pipelines. There are many kinds of joins in SQL databases, but this post will focus only on the INNER JOIN. 1 It is possible to make the JOIN between two large tables very efficient if the result is going to be small. That being a common scenario in practice, makes JOINs an interesting topic of research. A naive JOIN algorithm can be very slow because JOINs are essentially nested loops. NestedLoop JOIN based on sequential scans1...| Runtime Checks
In 2017 I decided to print some PDFs to read instead of just have them in an ever-growing folder of Papers to Read. Here is the list of the ones I managed to read this year. Out of the Tar Pit / Ben Moseley, Peter Marks / 2006 This is my favorite paper. It is a bit long (around 60 pages), but well worth reading. It is very thorough in defining what software complexity is. The authors make the distinction between essential and accidental complexity (following Fred Brook’s ideas on the topic)...| Runtime Checks
When starting a new side-project I always wonder if parts of the codebase can be shared as an open-source project. A library extracted from the project might be of interest to other developers and it’s nice to have good stuff on your Github profile. That possibility may compel you to spend a lot of time thinking about the repository structure. You may create a git submodule for every library that doesn’t exist yet but might be useful to you in other projects or to other people and you don...| Runtime Checks
Every time I want to quickly understand something about an advanced type system or programming language concept I get lost when I see something like this on Wikipedia: Linear type systems are the internal language of closed symmetric monoidal categories, much in the same way that simply typed lambda calculus is the language of Cartesian closed categories. More precisely, one may construct functors between the category of linear type systems and the category of closed symmetric monoidal catego...| Runtime Checks
